Warwick University Commission New Fast Rate ESPEC Chamber
19 January 2023
Power Electronics Applications and Technology in Energy Research at Warwick university have installed and commissioned a new ESPEC ARS-0680-15 fast rate environmental test chamber from Unitemp Ltd.
Power Electronics Applications and Technology in Energy Research at Warwick university have installed and commissioned a new ESPEC ARS-0680-15 fast rate environmental test chamber from Unitemp Ltd.The Power electronics team (PEATER) in the School of Engineering at Warwick is led by Professor Phil Mawby. The new chamber is part of a suite of equipment funded through Driving the Electric Revolution (DER) as part of its main centres of expertise initiative.
The chamber will support state of the art research and development in Wide-Bandgap semiconductor technologies under the area of Power Electronics Machines and Drives (PEMD).
This new chamber augments a well-established cleanroom for dice processing as well as an epitaxy capability for Silicon Carbide. The new ARS-0680-15 ultra-fast rate environmental stress chamber has a temperature and humidity range of +10 to +95C/10 to 98 %rh with a refresh rate of 15K/min. It will be used to stress the semiconductors and Invertors specifically for automotive applications.
Professor Mawby commented “ We wanted a chamber that provided us with maximum flexibility, allowing us to undertake a multitude of tests including high and low temperature storage, thermal cycling and temperature and humidity stress testing.” The emphasis at PEATER is to develop a facility for reliability and testing of assemble power devices, modules and assemblies. Industry already has access to these facilities and PEATER are providing both the expertise and facilities to evaluate new ideas, assemblies, and integrations for use in the fast growing automotive sector.
Power Electronics Applications and Technology in Energy Research at Warwick carry out work in electrical energy conversion, from the very small power (mW) levels to very high power levels (MW). This technology centres on the developments in semiconductor switching devices.
The developments in MOSFET and IGBT technologies have paved the way for new applications such as hybrid vehicles, electric aircraft, electric ship propulsion, wind turbines as well as the revolution in mobile phone and computing devices, where energy management is critical to all these applications.
